The Chemicals in Fracking Fluids

Latest Polls (view all)

Under the cover of Covid, and now in the shadow of the infamous Election Irregularities of that fated 2020 presidential election, with current emerging alleged election fraud in Nevada and Pennsylvania inconveniently slipping into the public discourse, there is proved a colluded ongoing Election Interference in the nomination of the Republican candidate, the likes of which has never occurred in our Constitutional Republic's history, albeit, the question remains: Do you support the plain-sight Election Interference of the Democratic Socialist party, employing its minions in their Propagandistic Media, and their Two Tiered Justice System?

98.88% No, I do not support Election Interference; I am a patriot unto our Constitution.

1.12% Yes, I do support Election Interference; the alternative, Donald Trump, to this mentally diminished president is far worse.

0% "What, me worry" if elections are rigged?

Earth and water, you’ll find plenty of both down there

Since the 1940s, over a million wells have used hydraulic fracturing ("fracking") safely.
Numerous academic, federal, and state studies have found no link between hydraulic fracturing and groundwater contamination.
The process of hydraulic fracturing is not intrinsically dangerous.
A growing consensus among energy companies, state regulators, academics, and environmentalists is that the safety issue rests in proper well construction.
That is good news. It means that safe drilling is achievable through proper regulation and company due diligence.
Chemicals used in fracking are about 99 percent water and sand.
The rest is a blend of chemical additives used to condition the water, prevent well casing corrosion, control the fluid pH levels, kill bacteria, etc.
Most of the chemicals used for fracking are also found in typical household products, including soaps, makeup, and other personal
care products. That means they are chemicals people already willingly encounter daily and safely.
They are also used in consumer products for homes, pets, and yards.
